We'll create fresh WordPress site with Stop Referrer Spam installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
This plugin blocks referrer spam that you see in your page statistics. This problem is also widely known as “spam referrer attacks”.
Plugin uses the biggest public list of URLs that are considered as a spamming services; over 2200 URLs right now! List is provided by Matomo, the biggest open source analytics system. You can find it here; you can also contribute to that list by adding your own urls.
Yep, you can add your own URLs to blacklist! In a flash! So easy…
This plugin uses service located on our servers to update the list of spammers, hence you do not have to update the plugin itself whenever list is updated.
As it is said before, this plugin uses endpoint to get the actual list. That endpoint points to author’s server (https://srs.wielo.co), but there is no need of an account to use it. And no worries, this plugin do not collect any data about the users 🙂
You can see the current list of blocked websites in the admin panel, under “Settings/Referral Spam”. There is also time of the next update. That is it! No configuration needed! 🙂
It is completely free! Enjoy! 🙂
